Mario Kart Takes First, Persona 5 Shows Strong in April 2017

The NPD Group released its results for the top selling video game hardware and software for the month of April. Persona 5 had a strong showing, coming in second place.

We already knew Nintendo Switch was April’s best-selling console, with Mario Kart 8 Deluxe coming in at the top of software sales. Mario Kart 8 Deluxe was able to take the top spot in spite of having only been available just 2 days of April.

In third place was The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, which last month had sales numbers that exceeded the total number of Switch consoles sold.
